Salted Nutella Shortbread Bars

I am a bit obsessed with shortbread. It is so buttery delicious that it’s hard to resist. If you haven’t tried making shortbread before, you are in for a treat. Minimal ingredients with maximum flavor. There are no eggs or baking soda, just flour, sugar, salt and butter. Lots of butter, lol! Teaming up with Gold Medal Flour today to bring you my decadent bars that are worth every calorie

Break out your ingredients and don’t miss this great bar recipe!

Here are your line up of ingredients. Simple and fabulous!

Start with your butter and sugar. Beat until combined.

Add your lovely Gold Medal All Purpose Flour plus a pinch of salt!

Beat in the mixer until combined, like so.

Transfer your dough to an 8×8 inch baking dish lined with parchment (preferred). I ran out so used my foil which works fine too. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until baked through. Let cool completely before cutting into squares.

Spread a thin layer of Nutella over your cooled bars and sprinkle with a touch of salt. The sweet and salty combo makes your tastebuds do a little dance. Enjoy!

I also happen to be a bit obsessed with shortbread. It’s definitely up there with my favorite cookie types and I’m guilty of eating at least half a pan of it by myself in one sitting. If I put Nutella on it I’m afraid it’ll turn into the entire pan!
